Unlike Any Other

TT 2008 Guy Martin.jpg

My home...I hold it deep within me
close to my beating heart 
praying someday
I may return.

Is This Heaven?

An hour of solitude on the trails and then I come upon this.

Off the Beaten Path

The oft ignored road
led me to a place where
I could rest awhile

Now only to hold my breath 
I strain for some awareness
of this effort made so long ago

the ephemeral dreams of ghosts
and the faint echoes of children's laughter
are all that remain in this lonely place.

Days End

Nine hours in the saddle. And now I am complete.
